You may enter our hackathon under two competition categories:

Hackathon

Got a new idea or an answer to a sponsor’s challenge? You can work on your ideas before the event, or generate ideas during the event from all the great networking opportunities. We will be running webinars on the development themes and providing developer resources before the event, so you have a chance to think up ideas beforehand. Sponsors are just an email away should you have any questions on their resources.

Showcase

A category for enterprises to share ideas (innovations) on how they could use the sponsors’ technologies in their business. Entering the showcase category gives you industry recognition and free promotion.  A showcase is simply a short presentation (2-3 minutes) of an idea about how you can use the sponsors’ technologies in your business.
